Anderson Roach and Margaret Combs
Does anyone have or know of Anderson Roach, b. abt. 1825-26,
He was married to a Catherine Roberts from VA and lived in Owsley Co., KY in 1860. They had 3 children at that time - a son by the name of William H.; a daughter, Malissa; and another son, Anderson.
In 1875 he re-married, his first wife having died. With Margaret Combs, he had 4 children -- Mary, b. Perry Co., KY, 1874; Thomas; John and George. I'm not sure if there were additional childern. In 1880, the family lived in Lee Co., KY. These are my great-great grandparents.
I need to find out who Margaret's and who Anderson's parents were. I've hit a dead end. Any information would be helpful.

Anderson and Catherine Roberts Roach must have divorced as she was alive and well and living with son William Henry and his wife Rebecca in Jackson County in 1880...

Anderson is my GGG paternal grandfather!
My father is James David Roach, Jr. > James David Roach, Sr. > Lenville Anderson Roach > William Henry Roach > Anderson Roach > John Roach (this is as far as I've been able to get and would love to find out more information past this!!!)
Let me know if there's any info you need or don't have...I may be able to fill in something somewhere. :-D

Re: Anderson Roach and Margaret Combs
I am searching for Malissa Belle Roach who married John W. Hawkins in Saline Co., Illinois in 1890. Their marriage record is the only record of her I can locate. Could this be your Melissa? I believe her to have been born in 1871 or so, possibly in Illinois,(Kentucky and Tenn. are also possible), although I have yet to find any records to confirm that. She also may have remarried a few times according to my Uncle.

Re: Roach/Hawkins Saline County IL
Malissa Belle (Roach) Hawkins was enumerated in Saline County IL in 1900 and 1910. John and Malissa had 6 children; Hannah, George, Thomas, Lethia, Josaphine, and Charles. John Hawkins apparently died in 1913 and was buried in Kious Cemetery. George and Thomas Hawkins worked in the coal mines in West Frankfort, Franklin County IL in the 1920 Census. I am interested in knowing what happened to Malissa Belle and the other children.

Re: Anderson Roach and Margaret Combs
I am a Gr,gr,Gr grand-daughter of Anderson Roach b abt 1825. his son Andedrson "Ace" Roach is my Gr gr grandfather, I did not know Anderson was married to a Catherine before, But I started to wonder when I discoverd that Ace was born before 1875 when Anderson married Margaret. I didn't have a record of Willima, but I just started on the Roach line about a year ago. The children I have listed for Anderson & Margaret are Pete, Malissa, Anderson"Ace", John, Mary, Thomas, all born in Lee Co. Ky but Jonh, born in Perry Co. Ky. I hope we can help each other! Looking forward to hearing from you

Re: Anderson Roach and Margaret Combs
Anderson Joseph Roach is also my 3rd great grandfather. My line goes as follows: Me< Rebecca Diane Roach< Allen Lee Roach< James Linville Roach< John Roach< Anderson Joseph Roach.
I am also looking for more information on Margaret Combs. Who are her parents? What happened to her after Anderson passed away in 1898? She was only half his age according to the 1880 census (pasted below). So she probably remarried. Unfortunately I am the first one in my line to make it this far back. So I have no stories to go off of. This 1880 census is the only record I have of her. The rest I got from a memorial for Anderson on Find a Grave Index.
Household Members:
Name
Age
Anderson Roach 52 Margaret Roach 25 Malissa Roach 9 Anderson Roach 7 Mary Roach 5 Thomas Roach 3 John Roach 1
